Huge partial harvest of the nicest zucchini’s I’ve ever grown. Way too many to eat! I need to find out how to either sell them or preserve them. Interested in buying my produce? Contact me. This is not why I have this garden.
Picture
Birds had already been screaming in June ecstasy for two hours when I took this picture yesterday. “Hugest” zucchini plants I’ve ever seen- only six weeks old!
Picture
Plum tomatoes in commercial scale abundance ready for popping into my mouth fresh or salsa, tacos, sauces!
Picture
Over eighty degrees at six am on 7/1
Picture
ANY plant parts missing on ANY cucurbit plants indicates presence of squash vine borer adults energizing to destroy cucumbers, squash,zucchini. I got there first though, and if they eat my stuff they DIE! Last year by the middle of July all my cucurbits wilted and turned into slime. Not this year though!
Picture
Classic tomato disease- happens every year. I’m going to spray for it when it’s not hot.
Picture
10,000 feet of blueberries. Had to redo this field because I did it wrong the first time. Next year it will be worth covering. Dry, wrong pH. Hope problem is solved.
Picture
Looked like lettuce was bolting in the heat so I cut off the plants, gave them away and ate as much as I could. Space is ready for seeding something else in that row.
Picture
Heads of lettuce after the slaughter.

I got rhubarb to plant/sell at the nursery. I need to find more perennial plants for the garden. Only a “couplea” things you can do with rhubarb.
